THE INGREDIENTS

Bread Pudding Ingredients

 

 

HELPFUL BAKING TIPS

Make sure the bread slices are dry before using.  Moist bread will not work in this recipe.  

Arrange slices in a single layer on an ungreased cookie sheet. 

Bake in preheated 350 degree oven until each slice resembles dry, crisp toast.

Dry bread slices will make a firm pudding. 

Soft bread will make it mushy.   

 

USE AN UNGREASED BAKING DISH

Tear dried bread slices into small pieces. 

Place in an ungreased baking dish.
